a great place to live

Geographically, Bury is an attractive blend of both town and country – a great place to live, work, study and visit. With excellent transport links and a fast and frequent Metrolink service from Bury to Manchester city centre and beyond, it’s a brilliant place to base yourself and for reaching elsewhere.

Discover the range of high street fashion brands, independent retailers, tantalising and fantastic entertainment available at Lancashire’s premier shopping and leisure destination.

Bury is located within the northern part of Greater Manchester, approximately 30 minutes away from Manchester city centre or Manchester airport and around an hour and a half from the spectacular Yorkshire Dales and the unique Lake District.

A huge amount of investment has gone into Bury in recent years. Both investment and opportunities continue to flow into the borough, leading to ongoing success across a wide range of areas.

Bury is a safe place with one of the lowest crime rates in the region and one of the highest performing education authorities. There’s a wide choice of quality homes, good local shopping, a great town centre retail and leisure offer and house prices that are lower than in southern counterparts.
